And based on what's happened the past 48 hours on Twitter... think forward

Imagine - say - Washington Post revealed abuse of workers at a Tesla plant in Shanghai

What would happen?

Would it be dealt with fairly? Now I really doubt it. The reporter(s) would get blocked, and links to the story flagged.

Twitter is no longer a reliable and predictable place for news and the first take on the news.

@jon Does Twitter lose its importance if journalists leave? I mean, Trump was a master of saying something outrageous on Twitter *and then getting it picked up by news outlets*. It was a symbiotic relationship. Without the media, what's the difference between Musk-Twitter and 4chan?
